   <h1>Introductory Module: Basic Principles of the Common Law System</h1>
   <p><strong>Nivel:</strong> Upper-intermediate</p>
   <p><strong>Acerca de los cursos:</strong> English for specific purposes: Ingl&eacute;s jur&iacute;dico</p>
   <p>Estos cursos tienen como fin introducir a los   alumnos a la gram&aacute;tica, estructuras y vocabulario t&iacute;picos del &aacute;mbito   jur&iacute;dico. Es ideal para aquellos que, tras haber cursado niveles en esta   Direcci&oacute;n u otro centro de idiomas, tengan la necesidad de leer y   comprender material jur&iacute;dico redactado en ingl&eacute;s. Por otra parte, no es   el prop&oacute;sito de este curso formar profesionales o expertos en el sistema   jur&iacute;dico del &quot;Common Law&quot; sino afianzar el nivel de idioma a trav&eacute;s del   an&aacute;lisis de conceptos b&aacute;sicos dictados en los cursos. El material a   utilizar y la metodolog&iacute;a de trabajo permitir&aacute;n la transici&oacute;n entre un   curso tradicional y uno de estas caracter&iacute;sticas. La bibliograf&iacute;a   comprende obras de los pa&iacute;ses del sistema en estudio con ejercitaci&oacute;n   adaptada a los textos. Se trabajar&aacute; la comprensi&oacute;n de textos, el   reconocimiento de estructuras, vocabulario y usos del lenguaje del   derecho. S&oacute;lo se prev&eacute; a este nivel la producci&oacute;n b&aacute;sica por parte del   alumno. El curso contempla la evaluaci&oacute;n constante mediante la   ejercitaci&oacute;n y una evaluaci&oacute;n escrita final en base a la ejercitaci&oacute;n   del curso.</p>
   <p><strong>Requisito para la incripci&oacute;n:</strong> haber concurrido al test de nivelaci&oacute;n.</p>
   <p><strong>Nivel de ingl&eacute;s requerido:</strong> intermedio alto.</p>

   <p><strong>About the courses:</strong> English for specific purposes: Legal English</p>
   <p>The purpose of our courses is to introduce   students to the grammar, structures and vocabulary that are typical of   the language of the law. It is ideal for those students who have   attended courses in this Department or other language centres and need   to read and understand texts drafted in legal English. It is therefore   not our purpose to train students to become professionals or experts in   the Common Law but to consolidate their level of command of the language   through the practice of the basic concepts delivered in the courses.   The teaching material to be used and the methodology applied to the work   in class will help with the transition between a traditional course and   one of the characteristics described herein. The bibliography includes   textbooks from the country whose legal system the courses are based on;   and together with the bibliography there are sets of exercises specially   prepared on the texts. The courses focus on reading comprehension, the   identification of structures, vocabulary and usage of the language of   the law and basic written production. Students will be tested throughout   the course by means of the exercises given to them in class. There will   also be a final written test similar in format to the exercises the   students are familiar with.</p>
